National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an organization that promotes high quality learning for children ages 0 to 8 years old with emphasis on practice, policy, and research. There are over 60,000 individual members from the early childhood field and this organization has more than 300 regional affiliate chapters. NAEYC has a collective vision that all young children thrive and learn in a society dedicated to ensuring they can reach their full potential.
NAEYC hosts three of the most important and well-attended annual events for educators, administrators, and advocates in the early learning community: NAEYC's Annual Conference the National Institute for Early Childhood Professional Development, and the NAEYC Public Policy Forum (NAEYC, 2016).

NAEYC mission goals are to improve professional practice and working conditions, to support early childhood programs, and build a high performing inclusive organization of groups and individuals. NAEYC objectives are to provide professional development opportunities, set and publicize standards that promotes excellence, intergrate diverse perspectives to generate new knowledge, build public understanding and support, and advocate public policies and funding. NAEYC is at the forefront in influencing local, state, and federal early childhood legislation, advocating for policies that reflect comprehensive approaches to providing equitable access to high-quality early learning, with a particular focus on children living in poverty, multilingual children, children of color, and children with disabilities (NAEYC, 2016).
